Armed with a deadly vocabulary and heavyweight rapping skills, he's had battle-ready MC status since his emergence in the late 1990's. | | Now with the release of 2000 B.C., his sophomore effort, Canibus is ready to claim the streets worldwide. Tracks such as "C-Que," which samples "Theme From SWAT," "I Bust 'Em You Punish 'Em," which features the legendary Rakim, and "100 Bars," display Canibus' passion, aggression and single-minded vocal style. Some other 2000 B.C. highlights are "Micnificent," "Die Slow" and the raw, raging title track. There's no sophomore slump here, as Canibus brings it for real; 2000 B.C. has everything a Canibus fan could wish for. | | Few artists have made such an impact, with such energy, on their hip-hop scene debut as Canibus.
